A tale of two church music journals, in their own words

Recently the Church Music Association of America released most of their Sacred Music journal archives from 1975-2007 in PDF format. Some months prior to this, the National Association of Pastoral Musicians made their Pastoral Music journal archives, of basically the same time period, freely available in the same format.

I was beginning to write a comment on NLM stating that it could be a useful exercise to have links to these archives side-by-side to compare and contrast, but I stopped midway to create it myself. Links to the journals are listed side-by-side in the year they were published.

This page will be updated as additional archives become available.
